Nigel Pearson afforded a wry smile during yesterday's interview with Robins TV when discussing his options for this weekend.
The City manager confirmed Tomas Kalas and Kal Naismith will both miss out with injuries once again but more ominously, he conceded one or two players have been suffering illness in the build-up to the fixture and could be forced to sit out.
He then grinned as he hinted he may have to look towards the Under-21s when naming his squad. Pearson said: "There may be opportunities again for some younger players coming into the squad that our fans haven’t seen before. If that happens, good luck to them."
